I’m proud of this one! Okay, I’m proud of all of my work, but this one is special. #scifibooks #novel #writingcommunity

@doloughlin32 All my work in reverse chronological order, the bottom five are from 2004~2008 and published by McGraw-Hill. All of my fiction is self published. All were queried first. There is a learning curve. But not a steep one. The sculpture atop the stack was done by my wife. Do it!

@klhicks912 Yes, but through the Libby app.

@Angelamac33367 Hey!

@elchandler Voraciously! Like I’m trying to win a free pizza!

@klhicks912 I write all three, however, I am guilty for finding novels in novellas and novellas in short stories. In fact, I revisited a short story for a collection I’m compiling and believe it is worth fashioning into book two of a climate trilogy - that I had not intended.

@WallStreetSilv This is global. How can you blame the White House?

My twenty year oeuvre of published work in reverse chronological order. My wife provided the sculpture, a tribute to my love of words.

@sabinaposts I will seed a free little library with a book. Also, I gave a book to an extremely gregarious friend who shags shopping carts at a local grocery store and he carried it around and talked about it all day. Just because he knew me.

@JoeBiden should consider resurrecting Roosevelt’s plan of court packing (a switch in time saves nine) as soon as we get #Congress back. #supremecourt #VoteBidenHarris #VoteBlueToEndTheMadness

If a book in a transactional sense is three parts: the writing, the author, and the marketing, my only avenue for fame will be posthumously or through accidental discovery. I’m thinking the former. #writingcommunity #writing

Why a #pseudonym? Lina Balzoni wrote: The ghost one encounters through reading is better than the real person; the book remains the mirror of the soul, but it is a mirror that selects the best, that refines the image we see in it, cleansing it of all traces of mundane existence.

Again and again in his writing about dead authors, Petrarch emphasized their advantages over living people—or, as he scornfully put it, “those who think they are alive because they see traces of their stale breath in the frosty air.”

@hgeiser_author I write with a pseudonym. I believe I am probably destined for posthumous fame! And I’m okay with that outcome. I do have traditionally published books (four nonfiction) and I did query my trilogy. I have unleashed my best writing since that decision. Best wishes on your journey!
